You parse like a good Social liberal. Reagan is on record opposing the act when it was proposed vigorously
As well as the King holiday
If you have proof to the contrary then show it
He had no choice but to enFforce it once it was law and he was elected 16 years later
Are you so challenged as to try to extrapolate that he supported it by doing his duty
Quite unlike our first black president who shirks duty and only enforces laws he supported like this one you love
He supports it with a vengeance and enforces it with same vigor
To a casual observer everything for you is tinged with an obsession with redress for blacks
Are you black with a hard on for southerners
Spit it out son be a man
Hell I’d respect you more
Otherwise you’re a naive dumbassed white kid
So far your line of attack is I’m an evil segregationist for thinking the 1964 civil rights act was bad legislation but after we pointed out Reagan Buckley Goldwater felt the same way you resorted to your next heavy weapon that I must therefore be crazy
Is this how you win all these arguments you gloat about
That’s actually funny
You’re amusing me so you’re not a total waste of time
It’s harder these days for you I know...you’re having to scramble to ferret us out
10 years ago you coulda whined to a sympathetic mod to throw you a lifeline cause wardaddy being wacist and picking on you
Thats not working now is it after 6 and a half years of black liberation presidency
In the spirit of southern tact I’ll give you the last word
I know u must have it
Bill Clinton was the first Black President. The guy currently in the White House is half White.
Really?
In 1963-64 Reagan was an actor, television host and a nominal Democrat...honing his public speaking skills by giving speeches to local Realtor groups, Women's clubs, and Savings & Loan associations.
Reagan wasn't even a nationally known political figure back then...so if you have any evidence of his vigorous opposition to the 1964 CRA, by all means present it.
In contrast 1963 saw George Wallace inaugurated to his first term as Governor of Alabama. Wallace used the occasion to announce to the world
"In the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever"
If memory serves you grew up in Alabama...isn't that correct?
Buckley & Goldwater's opposition to the 1964 act aren't really that important imo. Goldwater needed Southern votes, got crushed anyway and never recovered his standing in the party...Buckley quickly and famously reversed his position on the issue.
Oh..and just to summarize the original intent of this extended exchange so far: the evidence you promised to provide that I'm a "south basher" etc. etc. here is....exactly nothing.
Which makes you quite the lying crybaby doesn't it?
Go figure...
